Mexico celebrated its goal so hard it created its own earthquake.

Yes, you read that correctly.

Mexico’s 1-0 win over Germany on Sunday during the 2018 FIFA World Cup turned out to be a literal world-shaking victory.

Per CBS Sport, around the same time that Mexico’s forward Hirving Lozano put the team in the board during the first half of Sunday’s game, a “seismic monitoring network” (SIMMSA) operated by the area’s Institute of Geological and Atmospheric Research, reported two sensors inside Mexico City detected an earthquake.

It could have just been a ‘coincidence,’ but the ground was reported to have started shaking moments after Lozano scored a goal.

SIMMSA reported on Twitter that the earthquake was ‘artificially’ created by ‘massive jumps.’
